    Hi all shrimp fanatics and pros,

    My berried crs recently gave birth to some shrimplets. For the first 2-5 days, i could still manage to locate them when i look closely (they are still small) but recently when i try to look for them i couldn't even find any. Do the shrimplets hide a lot or are they already dead? Any one here experience this before?

    cheers

    My personal experience is they are gone unless your tank is very dense.

    do you put sand in your tank? sometimes the shrimplets camouflage very well.

    The shrimplet I have appeared after 1 weeks. So probably they are hiding.

    Re: Shrimplets gone hiding?

    I was wondering if inconsistent ph level will also cause the shrimps to die? I am running co2 from 3pm-11pm only, during this period PH will be in the range of 6-6.5. When the Co2 is off, the PH is at 7.5. PH6 to PH7.5 is a huge jump so i am actually thinking if this is the root cause of why my shrimplets are dying. I am not experimenting to on my co2 24/7 and see if survival rates will be higher.

    Hope for some feedbacks or comments.

    mine don't go into hiding. once i spot them, the new borns, it is easy to see them after that. never encountered any missing period before.

    why pump co2 in your tank? what's your priority for this tank? plants or crs?

    you can take a look at how dense my tank is. but i think most probably is the shrimplets are dead.

    Your tank is highly planted.
    Might be hiding.
    Chances are they might be dead.
    Pray hard.
